You are.

Good recovery...ooof ! thank god for that....had me worried that drop in sp value !.

hi guys--i so nearly bght some shares when they dipped below 40p and regret not having done so--see they have already bounced back above 40p level to @45p--hmm--i still think we are in for some more rocky rides in stock market before the summer is out so i am tempted to hold off buying any just yet!--any reason why I should rush in now after the bounce?!--guys?!
another share i was told to buy ahead of an annoucement before the end of this week was SLV--i was told yesterday when they were about 70-73p--my source having paid 69p earlier in afternoon--i see they are up by another 3p today to about 79/80p!--rumour has it they could be on receiving end of a take-over bid at not less than 1 a share-hmm--anyone here follow SLV at all?!

bf
may i suggest you go off and do your own research? its the only way.dont listen to others, especially on bbs, as most, although not all,have their own agenda as i suspect do you.could be wrong. anyway your on a good board here as my experience is that most, although not all, are genuine. are you? i suppose we shall all have to make our own minds up based upon your future posts. good luck.
regards
jkd

BF,

Take a look at CEY, all you need in these markets is one good oil share AFR and one good Gold share CEY.

Afren plc (AFR LN)

Capital Markets Day - Ebok Development

London, 30 June 2009 - Afren plc ('Afren' or the 'Company'), announces that the Company is this morning hosting a Capital Markets Day on the Ebok development.

Key highlights



Afren is partnered with Oriental Energy Resources (Oriental) on the development of the Ebok field in Nigerias prolific south-eastern producing area

The field benefits from Nigerias indigenous Marginal Field Fiscal Terms

The Ebok field was originally discovered by the ExxonMobil and Nigeria National Oil Corporation (NNPC) joint venture in 1968 (Ebok-1), which encountered four oil bearing sands and two subsequent appraisal wells were drilled in 1970 (Ebok-2 and Ebok-3)

Appraisal drilling by the Afren-Oriental partnership in Q4 2008 proved recoverable 2P reserves of 53 mmbo in the Fault Block 1 & 2 areas of the field (well in excess of pre-drill minimum economic field size of 20 mmbo)

Upside potential of an additional 99 mmbo has now been identified (includes an additional 45 mmbo in the Qua Iboe sands)

o Total un-risked resource potential of the field has increased to 152 mmbo

Field development planning is well underway

o Close to commitments on drilling rig / Floating Storage Offloading (FSO) vessel / Mobile Offshore Producing Unit (MOPU) / wellhead support structure

o EHSS / community relations prioritised

On target to deliver first oil in early 2010

Step change for Afren and a platform for future indigenous growth in Nigeria







A copy of the presentation is available at www.afren.com.






Background

The Ebok field (Afren 40% legal interest) is located 50km offshore South East Nigeria in 135ft of water. The field is adjacent to producing fields operated by the ExxonMobil / NNPC joint venture, where current gross output is in the region of 850,000 bopd. Ebok's productive reservoirs are contained within the Pliocene Agbada Formation, which are the main intervals from which the vast majority of Nigeria's oil and gas is produced.

Appraisal drilling

The Afren-Oriental operated Ebok-4 appraisal well confirmed a material 53 mmbo (2P) oil development. The well encountered a total gross oil column of 284ft in high quality reservoir sands ranging in depth from 2,560ft to 3,718ft. Of these gross pay intervals, 274ft is calculated as net oil pay.


Afren has identified a further 99 mmbo of recoverable upside potential at Ebok, 45 mmbo of which lies within the Qua Iboe sands. Consequently, Afren is today announcing that the unrisked potential of the field has since risen to 152 mmbo.

Field development planning and current project status

Afren has set out a clear timeline for the development of the Ebok field to delivering first oil in early 2010, and beyond. To date, significant progress has been made across multiple aspects of the field development planning.

Field development (Phase 1a and 1b) will commence with the drilling of six horizontal production wells and one water injection well, and is set to deliver first oil in early 2010 at an initial rate of 15,000 bopd, increasing to 35,000 bopd at end 2010. Two appraisal wells will also be drilled to prove the identified upside of the D2 Southern Lobe and West Fault Block locations.

With Phase 1 well planning defined, Afren is close to commitments on a drilling rig and requisite production facilities. A shortlist of drilling units has been compiled with seven rigs having been identified as fit for purpose, five of which are immediately available.

Several proposals have also been evaluated to date for FPSO's, MOPU's and FSO's. A development configuration deploying a MOPU and FSO is considered to be the most appropriate solution. EHSS regulatory compliance process is also well underway.

A second multi phased development targeting the upside to total potential field size of 152 mmbo, will be undertaken through to 2012.




Osman Shahenshah, Chief Executive, commented:

'Afren has made significant progress on the Ebok development, since reaching an agreement in March 2008 with our partner Oriental Energy Resources and the ExxonMobil / NNPC joint venture.

Following the recent appraisal success, where Afren proved up a 2P reserve base of 53 mmbo, our continued subsurface studies and interpretation work post-appraisal drilling has identified substantially greater upside than previously announced, most notably an additional 45 mmbo recoverable potential from the Qua Iboe sands. We now see upside of 99 mmbo, and therefore the potential to ultimately deliver a 152 mmbo field development, in what is one of Nigeria's most prolific oil producing areas.

We remain firmly on-track with our development planning for Ebok, to deliver first oil in early 2010. Having completed well planning work for the first drilling phase, we are close to commitments for a drilling rig and production facilities. Ebok reinforces the platform from which Afren and its partners can deliver similar indigenous growth opportunities in the region.'

-Ends-

Oh, that presentation, nearly 50%swing in last week, sub 40p was another good entry point if you new the game they were playing? what with the main listing the 180p price looks again achievable in near term, wow 2010 could be a real game shifter for Afren.

Ellio. Check out afren web site Presentation on there. Off out til pm

Sp breakout....!.

Did not last long, pulling back now...

Hmm, lots of games, pullbacks to 50% even in last 10 days, this has a way to go, can see 70p, then pull back to 50p, forward to 100p then pullback to 70p, thats the way it will be all the way to 200p

ellio... i completely agree with the gist of wot ur saying here... i believe the recent rise has happened due to oil price again... but as the oil price drops, then so to will affers... UNLESS they have value-adding announcements... that is where it is tough for someone to trade afr... u can try to sell some for quick profit or go short when u think its sp is a tad high, but they do have some expected newsflow to come... when that will be is the key question...

sojitz deals - at least one is expected this summer...
la noumbi drill...
nigeria master gas plan - dishing out tenements...
ebok appraisals in a couple of mths...
ebok updates for remainder of 2009...

Sit back and enjoy the ride, it will be rollercoaster though, trading is not an option though as intraday swings are big and you will no doubt get caught on the wrong side again and again, set entry points and stick to them. 50P will still be an entry point after we hit 60p with this one, but if it goes 70p, then maybe 50p will be gone.

HUGE!!!!!!!! 6.3 million buy just gone through. WOW!

BREAKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kieth are you still around,if so did you buy in on the lows? This is gonna make me rich!!
